Canceled select dining reservations???

Hi all Celebrity just canceled all our select dining reservations. We had wait listed for early dining. What does the canceled reservations mean? We were 2 couples - linked reservations . Thanks

What class of ship?  If e class there is no set dining time. Reservations can be made but are not required and there’s often a short wait despite the reservation time. If S or M class you either have early, late, or select. If select, you don’t make a reservation…you show up at desired time and they seat you as seating becomes available in the Select area of the dining room. Assigned dining is 6 or 8:30, I think…we usually do Select. Also, you can check in  with the M’d on embarkation day to sort out your time.

The Eclipse & they let us preselect dining times. They did the same on the summit pre covid & it worked out great.

Finally got through to celebrity after they hung up once & then on hold for over 30 minutes. Our request for early dining came in. We much prefer that as when we had select dining pre covid, & had a reservation,  we still wound up waiting.  They always wanted to fill a table for 8 & if you waited a table for two, you waited awhile & your table was physically almost on top of the people next to you.
